Shareware? Really?

What a waste of time and bandwidth!

Thursday, June 15, 2006 by TheGuyPC | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

So I download two new screensavers that have just been submitted. I go to extract them and when I do, I read the EULA. For those of you who don't, this is a highly suggested practice.

It states that it is "shareware".

There is nothing in the description stating this, no special section for shareware (which I would never go to)....nothing. You just waste your time and, WC's bandwidth for nothing. I hope this is just an oversight. There are plenty of shareware screensaver sights out there. I wouldn't pay to have access to them. I don't appreciate paying to have access to them here either.

The ScreenSavers in question:

hmm... I've actually started to read the EULA a little bit. At least skim it sometimes if I'm uncertain about the software of the creators. Sometimes you find something in there which makes you cancel the installation.

Tried both links and came up with zilch so someone must have heard your cry and taken care of it. Never ceases to amaze me the nonsense that some people will come up with.
